Feelings

The Classic Bully Demonstration done around the world: Have kids take a cut out heart: crumple it and stomp on it. Next, have them unfold it and smooth it out. Ask the kids what the heart looks like. Then, have them tell it, "they're sorry." Did saying they're sorry bring the heart back to it's original state? The heart can't be fixed. "That's what happens when a child bullies another child. They may say they’re sorry; however, the "scars" don't fade away." via NY teacher (anonymous)
